New York Saturday at p. NJ. on their ocean race

Whv Not at Belfast?

At recent conference the shoe manufacture
ers of Haverhill, Mass, prepared plain state
mcnt as to the status of that industry. 1t
was concusively shown that at the current
rate of wages there was no profit to the
manufacturers and without a reduction they
would he compelled to move elsewhere or 90
out of business. In Stoneham similar state
of affairs exists, and it is said there is a move
ment there. not to arrange for a schedule of
prices which will make living profit to the
manufacturer possible, but actually to advance
the rates now paid. There are other indica-
tions that forces are at work which will drive
the shoe industry out of Massachusetts cities,
and that manufacturers must seek new locations
for carrying on their business. Recognizing
this fact many of the Maine towns have taken
steps 10 present their advantages. and Belfast
ought not to DC bchindhand. We have now
one prosperous shoe factory here, and plenty
of room for others. We have ample water
power on the east side to run all the spinlles
of Lewiston and Auburn, and before the year
is out our city will have an abundant water
supply. The competition between our steamer
line and the railroad ensures reasonable rates
of freight. and this is not least among the
advantages Belfast offers. The city would Of
course vote to al,ate the taxes for term Of
years on new enterprise that would more
than return the money in other ways. Some

The Taxpayers took as their candidate for
Alderman in Ward Two Il man who does moi
own a dollars worth of property in this city,
and who is only a resident here bv reason of
his election to a county office. His home is in
another town, and ut the expiration of his
term he will no doubt return there. He was
taken candidate because of his successful
run for office last fall. and because he is ac-
ceptable to the rum interest, which was the
main reliance of the Taxpayers in their clnl-
paign against the property owners, the intelli-
5ence and the morality of our city. This man.
practically nonresident, holding no property
here, filling Il county Office the duties of which.
rightly performed, would occupy his whole
time, was selected by the so-callcd TAXPAYER
party to lax and help rule the business men
and property owners of Belfast. His nomina-
ton under the circumstances was an outrage.
but happily he was defeated at the polls In
justice to Sheriff Wadsworth we feel it Il duty
to say that we believe he did not seek or desire
the nomination, and he probably does not regret
his defeat. No doubt great pressure was
brought to bear upon him, but in accepting
the nomination he made mistake, as he will
realize sooner or later.
